Behind Your Touch Episode 15 Recap
When Ye-boon finds Sun-woo’s lifeless body, the serial killer tries to come for her but quickly escapes as the cops arrive. Jang-yeol comes and looks at Sun-woo’s corpse and runs to Ye-boon. She slaps him and yells at him for suspecting Sun-woo. Ye-boon is taken for interrogation by the new detectives and Jang-yeol tries his best to save her from the mess. However, it turns into a frenzy leading to suspension.
Ye-boon denies talking to anyone as she regrets suspecting Sun-woo. Jang-yeol loses sleep wondering how the killer practices the blackout skill. That very day, Jang-mook helps Jang-yeol get rid of the suspension so he can work and find the serial killer. Jang-yeol tries to get answers from the forensic department but all he can make use of is Sun-woo’s mobile phone. But due to not knowing the password, he fails to get any answers.
While going back to Mujin, he keeps looking at his car’s window tint and realises the trick of the serial killer. He instantly runs to Ye-boon to let her know about it. Meanwhile, she goes to buy shoes to give to the Shaman who is conducting the funeral for Sun-woo. Previously, the Shaman was found passed out in Sun-woo’s workshop. When he heard about his death, he mourned and decided to do a send-off rite for him.
Jang-yeol catches Ye-boon on her way to the Shaman’s house and tells her that the serial killer’s trick to not get caught is by wearing black-tinted sunglasses. However, Ye-boon talks rudely to Jang-yeol and walks away as she’s finding it hard to concentrate on the serial killer now that Sun-woo is dead. At the Shaman’s house, Ye-boon catches him wearing a black sunglass and remembers Jang-yeol’s words.
She goes and touches the Shaman’s back and reads his memories. She finds the truth and understands that the Shaman is the real killer. He smirks at her and looks into her eyes. She realises that he has the power to see people’s memories by looking into their eyes. Then he tells the truth to her about why he killed her grandfather, Gwang-sik and Sun-woo. Apparently, Sun-woo was smart enough to find out his psychic ability and his killings but he kept it sealed to gather evidence.

The Shaman says that if she remains quiet about it, he will let her live. Ye-boon walks back home shocked. The next day she opens her hospital. Jang-yeol comes and starts asking her to help him out but she rejects. The Shaman casually comes to check her to see whether she has revealed the truth. He leaves knowing she hasn’t conveyed their conversation to Jang-yeol.
Back at the head office, Jang-mook and his team put on a play to help Jang-yeol sneak inside the evidence room. Over there he picks up Sun-woo’s phone. The viewers are then shown Ye-boon passing a tiny paper into Jang-yeol’s hands to prevent the Shaman from knowing the truth. When Ye-boon previously read the Shaman’s memory of Sun-woo, she found Sun-woo giving a hint about his phone in Arabic.
The police arrest the Shaman as they find evidence in Sun-woo’s phone where a recording of the Shaman is clearly heard. The next day, after his arrest, Ye-boon and Jang-yeol scatter Sun-woo’s ashes in the sea and try to let go of the haunting memories. Just then, Jang-yeol gets called to the head office where the Shaman requests that he will only talk to Jang-yeol.
The Shaman hints at another death to Jang-yeol making him panic. Dok-hee finds that Ok-hee is missing. Ye-boon arrives at the police station and learns that the Shaman has attacked Ok-hee and has hidden her somewhere. The clever man tells them all that they will be able to find Ok-hee only if they let him go otherwise she will die in no time.

Finally, the serial killer is found and it is none other than the Shaman. Given he has vengeance on people who betray, his first murder was his wife who cheated on him. Then he proceeded to kill because he found it thrilling. It’s sad that Sun-woo sacrificed his life to save Ye-boon as well as to record the Shaman. The episode was very interesting and it is nice they didn’t end with the serial killer getting arrested.
Adding Ok-hee’s danger spiced up the villain’s role and helped increase the curiosity among viewers to know what will happen in the final episode. So far there isn’t any romance between Jang-yeol and Ye-boon but it’s clear that they’re comfortable around each other. We can’t expect a special moment from the couple but definitely, the season will conclude with a warm ending.
